When you play a character as iconic as Serena van der Woodsen, it's no surprise that fans will continue to make Gossip Girl references even decades later. But, we've got to admit, Blake Lively's latest outfit post looks like something straight out of Queen S's wardrobe. Overnight, Serena Blake took to Instagram to share a previously unseen picture which, she confesses, has taken her a while to share with her 39.3 million followers.
'happy one year anniversary to the day I meant to post this photo', reads Blake's caption, which, despite her being one of Hollywood's biggest names, somehow still feels relatable AF. In the snap, the 35-year-old wears a micro mini dress in a plum-purple hue. The bodycon Sergio Hudson style features a rounded neck and a short hemline that finishes on her upper thigh. Blake then accessorises the 'fit with contrasting red platform Louboutins, a matching Chanel clutch bag and a pair of glitzy statement earrings. Basically, it's giving major flashbacks to Serena's signature Upper East Side aesthetic.
As for beauty details, Blake styles her hair in a Noughties-approved side parting and smokey eye combo.
